Default Z by the Ocean

Hope this is the right thread but here goes: my 350Z (soon 370Z I hope) is parked so close to the ocean that every morning salt spray is all over it. I wash it 2-3 times a week and spray down the wheel wells and undercarriage real well. I also wax or get detailed once a month. I don't own a cover and don't currently have a garage. Im only here for another 11 months after which it won't be a problem.

Any more suggestions on keeping my car like new and rust free?

Just keep it clean like you've been doing.

were blessed with a lot of aluminum in the engine bay and almost all of the suspension, so thats a bonus. i'd cover up and rock chips of exposed paint, god forbid, if that ever happens as fast as possible.

Also, wax over your plastic/rubber trim.

Wax and frequent rinses. She'll be fine. Remember to rinse the undercarriage while you're at it.
